Gilgeous-Alexander Leads Thunder to NBA Title with Game 7 Win

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander capped his MVP season with 29 points and 12 assists, leading the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 103-91 victory over the Indiana Pacers in Game 7 of the NBA Finals on Sunday night. Jalen Williams added 20 points and Chet Holmgren scored 18 as the Thunder pulled away in the second half to secure their first championship since 1979. Oklahoma City finished the season with 84 total wins, tying the 1996-97 Bulls for the third-most in history. 

The Pacers, still seeking their first title, lost Tyrese Haliburton to a leg injury early in the game. Gilgeous-Alexander bounced back from a rough Game 6, committing just one turnover and guiding his team past a late Indiana push. The Thunder led by as many as 22 points before closing out the series on home court.
